Patients who responded to Caredata.com's 1999 Commercial Health Plan Survey, for example, ranked treatment of depression as one of the most poorly rated of the 27 conditions studied. Of those respondents, 20% rated their depression care as "not adequate," and another 38% said it was only "adequate." Of the 74 health plans whose members participated in the survey, only 10 plans received an overall "excellent" rating for depression treatment. The plans surveyed included HMOs, point of service plans and preferred provider plans. In a study of collaborative care for depression treatment at the University of Washington Medical School, only 63.5% of the control group - which received "usual" care - rated their quality of care as good to excellent.

Patient Presentation and History
JS is a 37-year-old female who comes to the pharmacy intending to purchase St. John’s wort. She has heard that it can relieve depression, and she firmly believes in "natural" treatments. She reports that, for the past three weeks, she has been feeling depressed, has had a decreased appetite with a 15-pound weight loss, has had little energy, no longer enjoys the many recreational activities that pleased her in the past, and finds herself waking up each morning three hours earlier than expected with an inability to fall back to sleep. She is unable to identify any significant, recent stressors in her life, but says that it is becoming increasingly difficult to perform adequately at work and home. She had her annual, routine physical exam one month ago, and all physical and laboratory findings <a href="http://depressionsymptomstreatment.net/treatment-of-depression/st-johns-wort-and-the-treatment-of-depression/" class="more-link">Read more [...]</a>]]></content:encoded>
